A fixed rate loan that lets borrowers make additional repayments on their loan

It's not often that a mortgage with a fixed rate of interest lets borrowers make additional repayments without incurring a penalty. But the Aussie Optimizer Fixed Rate loan lets you do just that.

This loan is fixed for a period and Aussie also offer a range of fixed rate loans, from one to five years. If you're looking for a variable rate of interest, Aussie also offer the Optimizer Standard Variable Rate Home Loan.

Aussie Optimizer Standard Fixed Rate loan Overview

Considerations for this loan

The Aussie Optimizer Fixed Rate Home Loan has a maximum loan size of $5,000,000 - any loan amount over this will be assessed on a case by case basis. Aussie will consider things like the size of the deposit and the loan to value ratio (LVR) when judging an applicant who wishes to borrow over the maximum amount. The minimum loan size is $100,000.

At the end of the fixed rate loan term, this loan will revert to the Aussie Basic Variable Rate Home Loan. However, there are break costs if you choose to end the fixed rate term early. This loan can be used for residential purposes only, if you're looking at constructing a dwelling, you may want to consider loans more suitable for construction.

Aussie Optimizer Standard Year Fixed Rate Home Loan features

Loan terms: This loan is available for a period of up to 30 years. Although this product is set at a fixed rate of interest, once the fixed interest period has finished, borrowers have the option of locking in for another fixed period, for one to five years or letting the loan revert to the standard variable rate.

LVR: The maximum loan to value ratio for this loan is 80%. This means you can borrow up to 80% of the value of the property you wish to purchase. If you're willing to pay lender's mortgage insurance, you can borrow up to 95% LVR. This amount includes LMI capitalisation. An LVR of 95% makes this a great loan for first home buyers who are looking to break into the property market, but may not have the deposit required by some lenders.

Repayment flexibility: This loan offers borrowers flexibility in the way they pay their loan and how often they choose to pay it. Choose between principal and interest or interest-only repayments. Interest-only repayments are a great way to cut down on mortgage repayments but there are limits to how long interest-only payments are accepted - interest-only repayments can be made for a maximum period of five years.

Repayment frequency: Borrowers can also choose their repayment frequency, whether it be fortnightly or monthly. Payments can be made via online facilities and direct debit.

Additional repayments. Value adding features like the ability to make additional repayments during the fixed term without penalty also offers flexibility to borrowers. Additional repayments are a great way to get ahead on your home loan and often incur a penalty with made during the fixed rate period, borrowers are free to make additional repayments up to 5% of the total value of the loan without incurring additional charges. It is worth mentioning that this loan does not offer a redraw facility. Any repayments made onto the loan can not be redrawn during the fixed loan period.

Important information about this website

finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of major banks, insurers and product issuers.

finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product. You should consider whether the products featured on our site are appropriate for your needs and seek independent advice if you have any questions.

Products marked as 'Promoted' or "Advertisement" are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options and find the best option for you.

The identification of a group of products, as 'Top' or 'Best' is a reflection of user preferences based on current website data. On a regular basis, analytics drive the creation of a list of popular products. Where these products are grouped, they appear in no particular order.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment.

We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.

Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.

Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
